Converting Raw output into Nested List

[ichabod801]

I'm not getting that with my modified version of your code. I'm getting what (I think) is the correct output:

Output:
[['vlan 1'], ['vlan 2', '  name UNUSED', '  mode vpc'], ['vlan 10', '  name SALES', '  mode vpc']]
[['vlan 1'], ['vlan 2', '  name UNUSED', '  mode vpc'], ['vlan 10', '  name HR', '  mode vpc']]

Please repost your current code so I can compare it to my version of your code.

    import re
    data_cleaned = {}
    current_key = ''
    action_flag = False
    data_group = []
    if_found_vlan = True

    output = open('./file1.txt','r').read()
    

    switch_red = re.findall(r'(\w*-RED\d{0,1})', output)[0]
    switch_blue = re.findall(r'(\w*-BLUE\d{0,1})', output)[0]

    for line in open('./file1.txt'):
        
        m = re.search(r'(\w*-RED\d{0,1}|\w*-BLUE\d{0,1})# sh run vlan \d+', line)
        #print m
        if m:
            if not if_found_vlan:
                data_cleaned[current_key].append([])
                print current_key
            if_found_vlan = False

            current_key = m.group(1)
            if not data_cleaned.has_key(current_key):
                data_cleaned[current_key] = []
            continue
        
        mm = re.match(r'vlan \d+', line)
        if mm:
            if_found_vlan = True
            action_flag = True
            data_group = []
        if action_flag:
            #action_flag = False
            data_cleaned[current_key].append(data_group)

        if action_flag:
            data_group.append(line.replace('\r', '').replace('\n', ''))

    if not if_found_vlan:
        data_cleaned[current_key].append([])
    print data_cleaned[switch_red]
    print "************************************"
    print data_cleaned[switch_blue]

Well, you didn't put in that last section of code I mentioned. My vlan matching part looks like this:

    mm = re.match(r'vlan \d+', line)
    if mm:
        if action_flag:
            data_cleaned[current_key].append(data_group)
        if_found_vlan = True
        action_flag = True
        data_group = []
    if action_flag and '' == line.strip():
        action_flag = False
        data_cleaned[current_key].append(data_group)

Notice lines 3 and 4. And, as noted, it seems to be giving the correct output.
